There are few cities in Uzbekistan that have been awarded with a special “Order of Amir Temur” Among them was modern Termez city. Being one of the strategic and military cities of Uzbekistan, Termez was honoured with the “Order of Amir Temur” in 2014.

Present-day Termez as an administrative centre and the biggest city of Surkhandarya Province is located in the southernmost part of Uzbekistan. Therefore the city is considered as the main southern gate of our country.

After Independence of Uzbekistan great changes have taken place in the economic and cultural life of Termez and its people. Since this period the city was totally opened for international tourists.
